TSA pats down autistic boy, complains of lack of cooperation

  You've probably seen the video of the young boy whose hoodie was pulled off during a TSA search. While it is true that the boy's father pulls the hoodie off in disgust when TSA agents decide to examine the boy, what was not known previously is the young boy is autistic. In this video, a TSO claims that the father was a "jerk" who caused his own trouble. 
  What Verum Serum points out is that TSO has a problem, either allowing this agent to appear disguised on camera to the media or not knowing that it was going to happen in the first place. While it must be an awful experience to have a job like the TSA "officers," their attitudes don't seem to be helping the situation, particularly coming forward like this and complaining about flyers.
The woman in the following video describes her experience with being searched without apparent provocation. Lots more at Verum Serum.
